We know that he weeds gardens for 15 hours, and mows lawns for x hours.

If he wants to earn $252 per month, we can express the following

9\cdot15+9x\ge252

Now, we solve for x

\begin{gathered} 135+9x\ge252 \\ 9x\ge252-135 \\ 9x\ge117 \\ x\ge\frac{117}{9} \\ x\ge13 \end{gathered}<h2>Hence, he has to mow lawns for 13 hours to earn at least $252.</h2>

A piece of wire 23 m long is cut into two pieces. One piece is bent into a square and the other is bent into an equilateral tria
goldfiish [28.3K]

Answer:

wire for square to maximize total area = 23 m

Wire to minimize total area = 2.019 m

Step-by-step explanation:

For the square, let's say the total length of the square is "y" m.

Thus, length of one side is = y/4

And area of the square = (y/4) = y²/16

Since the wire is 23 m, then total length of equilateral triangle is; 23 - y.

Thus, length of one side of equilateral triangle = (23 - y)/3

Using trigonometric ratio, we can find the height of the triangle and thus area.

Area of triangle = (√3)/4) × ((23 - y)/3)²

Area of triangle = (√3)/36)(23 - y)²

So, total area of square and triangle is;

A_total = (y²/16) + (√3)/36)(23 - y)²

Now, extremizing this function by derivatives, we have;

dA/dy = (y/8) - (√3)/18)(23 - y)

d²A/dy² = ⅛ + (√3)/18)

So, d²A/dy² > 0

Now,let's find the maximum or minimum of the function.

So, we equate dA/dy to zero.

Thus;

(y/8) - (√3)/18)(23 - y) = 0

y/8 = (√3)/18)(23 - y)

(y/8) + (√3)/18)y = 23((√3)/18)

Multiply through by 8 to give;

y + 0.0962y = 2.2132

1.0962y = 2.2132

y = 2.2132/1.0962

y = 2.019 m

2.019 will be a minimum because d²A/dy² > 0

The maximum will occur at a boundary of the allowed values. Thus, the absolute maximum is for y = 23.

Note that a square has more area than a triangle and as such it is normal for the square to get the largest area over the triangle and therefore we will have to use all of the wire to construct the square.

Write an equation for the line in​ slope-intercept form, where x is the number of tickets and y is the total cost.
Feliz [49]

Answer:

Y= 21x+10.25

Step-by-step explanation:

(1,31.25) (0,10.25)

Slope= 21

21X-0=y-10.25

Y= 21x+10.25

Len [333]
Well i think that if there is 25 ball there is more likely to be odd cause there is not 26 balls to make even and odds have the same amount of odd and even balls so there is one more odd than there is even
